The Science of Healthy Aging

Why do we age? How is the brain of an 18-year-old different from the brain of an 81-year-old? What can you do to stay fit and mentally sharp as you grow older?

In recognition of Healthy Aging month, join us for a weekend of special activities celebrating opportunities for staying healthy at any age. Aging isn’t just for the old—people of all ages will learn something new with our interactive exhibits and hands-on activities!

Learn why we age and see how our bodies and brains change throughout life.

Take our digital avatar AGNES for a spin to experience for yourself the physical and sensory changes that occur during aging.
